Generic Slicers?

[JonVH]

I replaced my rear rotors/calipers & pads yesterday when I relized that my driver's side front wheel did not match the rear ones. All the wheels but the front driver's have casting stamps all over the center of the wheel. Including "Italy" & "RH", "LH" with directional arrows. But the drivers side front one only has a ford stamp & that's about it. Plus it's backwards (flat side of the 12:00 spoke is facing the front of the car). Did Ford make two kinds of wheels? I know they're supposed to be directional but the generic doesn't have any indicator for direction or side. Was there ever any non diectional slicers? Will this impeed my brake cooling & cause premature wear to this wheel?
Is it possible for me to get one drivers side (LH)slicer from anyone? How much would it cost?

Yup, on the earlier SHO's they use non directional wheels. I'm sure some in your area has a wheel. Try SHOTIME.

There were 2 styles of slicers; "Canadian" and "Italian". The Canadian-made slicers were non-directional. My 91 has these. They appear to be all passenger-side ones. I posted a pic of these side by side once.

From memory, the 91-92 slicers were Canadian-made, non-directional; the 93-95 slicers were the Italian-made, directional ones.

There is a LH on ebay now, buy it now for something like $80.
